Topic:

Module 1: Genomic Analysis to Clicnical Reports: What a Provider Needs to Know
Module 2: The Power of Genomic Reports: How to Interpret Complex Findings

Overview:

“As clinical genomic testing becomes more prevalent, the education of providers in the area of genomics is becoming of increasing importance. Providers may not have direct experience in interpreting genomic reports, which can limit the impact and utility of the information provided. This session intends to aid providers in understanding what information is encompassing within a genomic report and how a provider can best navigate the report to help guide downstream clinical management.”

Summary:

This session will provide an overview of strategies for implementation, including assessing the organizational readiness, capacity building, structural features and ongoing support. Available tools for implementation will be highlighted and examples from current implementing sites will be used to illustrate different pathways to implementation. In a recorded interview with one NICU Medical Director, session attendees will hear about the rWGS implementation journey of a typical NICU.

Learning Objectives:

1. Review with the steps for implementation of new research and technologies into clinical practice
2. Identify tools and other practical resources for implementation of rWGS
3. Learn from a case study of a typical NICU what to expect when implementing rWGS
